Astra Labs Start for $99

Web design for fitness

Websites for personal trainers, gyms and studios that turn a visitor into a first session.

Astra Labs designs custom websites for personal trainers, online coaches, gyms, yoga and Pilates studios and martial arts schools. The price is $499 one time for up to five pages, starting with $99, with the other $400 due once you are happy and before the site goes live. Your own training footage opens the page, your timetable or coaching options are laid out clearly, and every route ends in the step you actually want: a free trial class, an application or a consultation request.

The question every new member asks first is "when can I come?" Many of our gym and studio designs answer it with the real week, filtered for the visitor, with the free trial booked from the class they picked.
What the site has to do

Fitness is sold on proof, then on time.

A visitor wants to believe you can get them somewhere, and then to see how it fits their week. What follows comes from the trainers, gyms and studios we designed for this autumn: what they actually sell, and what their old sites made hard to find.

  1. Your own training film beats any stock athlete

    Almost every business in this group had footage of its own: class reels, lifting films, a gym walk-through, years of YouTube classes shot in the studio. Many of their sites still opened on bought photos of models in a gym they had never set foot in. Real sessions in your room, with your members, are the most convincing thing you own.

  2. Show the week, not a picture of it

    Several gyms and studios published their timetable as an image, or behind a separate booking app. A timetable that a parent can filter for their child's age, or that a shift worker can filter for evenings, answers the second question before it is asked.

  3. Make the first step small and clear

    Free first class, two free weeks, an intro month, a consultation, a short application. Each business had one, and it was often buried under a pop-up or a long form. One clear first step, repeated on every screen, matters more than anything else on the page.

  4. Let results speak in your clients' words

    Online coaches in particular had dozens of before and after photos and check-in messages. Placed next to the offer, with permission, they do more than paragraphs of promises.

  5. Explain the method once, simply

    The strongest businesses had a real idea: ten minute sessions anywhere, training by days per week, a 90 day block with weekly check-ins, a programme built around pace. A website should say that idea plainly, and ideally let the visitor try it, rather than list generic benefits.

  6. Speak to families, women only classes and beginners

    Martial arts schools and community gyms sell to whole families and to people nervous about walking in. Clear pages or filters for kids, women only sessions and first timers make those visitors feel expected.

What we found

Fitness websites, checked one by one.

We read the websites and social pages of every fitness business we designed for in October 2026: 37 personal trainers, online coaches, gyms, yoga and Pilates studios and martial arts schools in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia and elsewhere. On 1 November 2026 we opened each homepage again as a phone. The group is modest in size, so read these numbers as what we saw, not a national average.

36 of 37businesses had their own training photos or film onlineFrom our review notes

Fitness businesses were the least likely group in our data to rely on a phone call. Many trainers coach online and work through an app, an application form or direct messages, so a missing call button is not always a problem. What did stand out was how often the main action was hard to reach: free trial widgets placed far down the page, applications on a separate form tool, timetables in a picture, and pop-ups covering the first screen.

The platforms were spread widely. Among the 26 homepages we could measure, WordPress led with 9, followed by Squarespace and Wix, and a long tail of coaching templates, funnel builders and one-page builders. Membership and class tools such as Mindbody, Momence, Zen Planner and coaching apps sat behind most of them, usually working well.

Method: our review notes describe each business's current site in writing; we counted notes that mention placeholder content and those that record the business's own photos or film. Phone checks opened each homepage once at 390 pixels wide. See the full method.

Fitness work

Nine fitness sites, and the idea behind each.

None of these trainers or gyms asked to be named, so we describe the discipline and the region. Each design was made from their own footage, timetable and prices.

Mixed martial arts gymVancouver, Canada

The round timer

What we found
A website template with strong photos of their own, a separate page for the schedule and some leftover template text on the contact page.
What we built
Their gym films in black and white, and the LED round timer from their wall counting down to the next real class, filtered by discipline, level and location.
Family martial arts schoolNew Jersey, USA

Build your family's week

What we found
A sales funnel template with a pop-up on load, coloured blocks and an empty testimonials section.
What we built
Their own kids class film first, then a planner where a parent adds each family member and sees everyone's classes on one week, with shared evenings lit up and free first classes requested in one message.
Traditional karate dojoNiagara Region, Ontario

The name board

What we found
A page builder theme with a slider hero, photo collages and a free class widget, while their best photos and reels showed a warm pine-walled dojo.
What we built
Classes laid out by night, and the dojo's wooden name board where the instructors hang as plaques. The last plaque is blank, takes the visitor's name and opens their free class booking.
Strength gym, small groupsYork, Pennsylvania

One plate per day

What we found
A new page builder site using mostly stock and generated photos, with a free trial widget from their membership tool.
What we built
Their own gym floor photo under their wall banner, and the barbell from their logo: load one plate for each training day to see the weekly, yearly or family price.
Mobile personal trainersBrisbane, Australia

Find your suburb

What we found
A large site with dozens of near-identical suburb pages and many forms, mostly stock and generated images.
What we built
The two trainers saying hello in their own film, then a wall of every suburb they cover. Tap yours, choose a place and a time, and a ready WhatsApp goes to the trainer.
Online strength coach and powerlifterWest Midlands, UK

Your best, in plates

What we found
A standard website template with a badge logo and a separate application form tool.
What we built
His competition film with a live attempt board, and a bar that loads competition plates to his best lifts or to the visitor's own, leading straight into the free consultation.
Short-session trainer, online plansNewcastle upon Tyne, UK

The ten minute clock

What we found
A crowded builder page that slid sideways on phones, with an older domain now parked.
What we built
A studio wall timer where the visitor picks a place (bed, chair, stairs, gym) and the minutes they have, and it runs one of his real sessions with his own clip and the plan it comes from.
Women only reformer Pilates, open around the clockRegional New South Wales

Any half hour is yours

What we found
A freshly redesigned one-pager in cream and terracotta, with sample review cards still showing.
What we built
A day rail of 48 half hours like their app's bed booking. The studio photo relights for the hour you pick, and a real member's review speaks for that time of day.
Yoga teacher training schoolToronto, Canada

The bolster wall

What we found
A crowded page builder site of about thirty pages with banner graphics, while their YouTube channel held seventy classes filmed in the studio.
What we built
Those class films as the opening, and the advanced training shown as the studio's wall of teal bolsters, filling module by module with hours and tuition adding up.
What comes with it

Everything a member needs before the first session.

Each fitness site we make comes with these.

Training footage, trimmed for phones

Your reels and class films cut into a short muted loop that stays sharp and light, with burned-in captions cropped away where possible.

A timetable people can use

Your real week as text, filterable by age, level or discipline, so it reads on any phone and Google can read it too.

Your membership tool stays

Mindbody, Momence, Glofox, Zen Planner, Arketa, Wodify or your coaching app keep handling sign-ups and payments. We link each class or offer straight to it.

One clear first step

Free trial, intro offer, application or consultation, repeated where it is needed and never hidden under a pop-up. An enquiry form to your inbox is added at launch.

Results with permission

Client transformations and reviews placed beside the offer they relate to, in the client's own words.

Your own dashboard

Update class times, prices and photos yourself, from your phone, between sessions.

Questions

Trainers and gym owners ask us.

How much does a personal trainer or gym website cost?

Astra Labs charges $499 one time for up to five pages. You pay $99 to begin and $400 once you approve the finished design, before it goes live. Hosting and care are optional at $30 a month.

I coach online through an app. Does the site still help?

Yes. For online coaches the site is where a follower decides to apply. We put your training films and client results first, explain your method in your words and make the application take seconds, then hand over to your coaching app as today.

Can the timetable update from Mindbody, Momence or Zen Planner?

We link each class and offer to your booking tool, and you can change the timetable on the site yourself from your dashboard. Where your tool provides an official schedule widget we can place it on the page. We do not promise a live sync between two systems without checking your setup first.

Can members buy class packs or memberships on the website?

If you already sell them through your membership platform, the site sends people straight to the right pass. Building a new membership or class pass system into the site itself is a custom quote, so tell us what you need and we will price it.

My only footage is phone reels with captions on them. Is that a problem?

Not usually. Most of the films we used for fitness businesses were phone reels. We pick the clean moments, crop above burned-in text, grade them to match and keep them small enough to load quickly on mobile data.

What happens to my domain and my email?

Both stay yours. The domain remains registered in your name and your email keeps working, because we only change the setting that points the domain at the new website.

You already film the work.

Put it on a site that turns watching into a first session. $499 for the full site, $99 to start.
